Calculator displays all significant digits only up to 100,000,000
The Calculator displays accurately numbers up to 100,000,000, anything above that is displayed in the exponential notation (e.g., 100,000,001 results in 1x10^8).
While further calculations are accurate, there is no option to expand the bigger number, and a copy to clipboard also copies the exponential notation. The same can be observed in scientific mode.
I am not sure whether this is intended, a bug or perhaps there's a missing feature to allow the user to expand that number, so I'll let Jolla tag/comment accordingly.
Do you really expect @jolla to react on this?
This is a 'feature' since 2013 :(

peterleinchen, why not? perhaps it's just a qml change, perhaps not. The scientific mode has the same flaw, I'll update the general description. Thanks for pointing that out.

peterleinchen: ok, got you now - yes, I ended up using a different calculator for what I needed, but I want this report here as it is a chance for improving stock applications, which will only make SFOS better.
